BUILD RedBeard’s 2018 GTI

[RedBeard]

What are the supporting mods people are using with this? DP, IC and that’s it? What about fuel pumps or other stuff like that?

Just intercooler and CAI/turbo inlet for the GTI. Tune is intended for stock downpipe.

Golf R has options for HPFP/LPFP and those plus MPI for more power on pump or E85.

good to know. so between the turbo, TCU, IC and install figure what, 4k for everything? $1500 for the turbo/ECU. $500 for TCU (DSG) and the IC is another what, $800?

More than I was thinking but not unheard of for that amount of power.

Around $3k doing install yourself with a new fancy intercooler.

so $4500 installed. I'm not doing that install. I can't even user Mook's guy in Morris either most likely.

So a $5k adm isn’t looking so bad in the car you actually want….

Oh that's right, not your car.

Remind me who had to turn around because the roads were too aggressive for their wittle tummy?

Yeah, I got nauseous, sorry.

I'm sure you never have gotten nauseous ever in your life.

Maybe if I was driving you old man Aertron I wouldn't have.

My old man Arteon spanks your GTI in every test you could throw at it. Next.

 

[Mook]

Stop shitting up the thread

 

[Jimbo]

Move it to his thread. Also, you shit it up too, so GFY.

 

[Mook]

I did? Where? I stayed on topic. Take your tickle fight elsewhere.

 

[RedBeard]

Went out for a canyon drive this morning. Kept it pretty casual.

 

[Mook]

Welp, you just shit all over our labor day cruise.

 

[RedBeard]

yeah it’s different here for sure. That road was the busiest of the ones I was on today, but for sure the most scenic along the river.

 

[Mook]

Gorgeous

 

[IDAFC21]

Thats awesome.

 

[PJx5x]

Is that the road to LC?

Teege24 Bottle Rocket please plan our next cruise here

 

[RedBeard]

Every road leads to a Little Caeser's in one way or another.

I think this might jump up to the top of my next upgrade list. I’ve always thought the sound system on this car was shit, especially coming from the SVT Focus w/ factory sub.
